Waters frozen
Waters thaw
Opening up spring
From winters claw
Over the water the city
Of the Midwest
Settle to the side
Of the great
Lake Michigan
Waters Change

Winds
Take me on a great journey
Over the great lakes
Beyond the skyline of Chicago
Over the fields
Down the streets
Whip me over the middle of this land
Down to Indianapolis
Over to South Bend
With the wind I go
On a night
Of gale force depositions
Late in the evening
Stakes
Holding companies
Holding onto our futures
Monetary insomnia
For those uncertain
Of where they are going
Or there past
Just trying to keep my head up
Out of the suffocating glass
A Tiny Heart
The size of an almond
With a personality the size
Of the room
Our small dog
Named Wilco
May have a small heart
But fills the room with love
When anyone walks in
Sweet little Wilco
One Fine Day
A fine day
Is coming
When we believe
Not in celebrity
But in each other
That day
Is coming
One fine day
Trolls
Trolls have nowhere else to go
Lurking for flat moments
Growing thick like mold
Trolls roll up their sleeves
To sow discord
In a world that needs to be healed
Refilled with love
So the trolls can roll away
Trees
Trees told stories
Well past the boundaries
Of you and me
The simple tree
That we cut down
Can teach us about
Life
And each other
Trees go on
Well past us
And continue to grow
Even when we are growing old
March 24th
A great day to get out
My birthday is a day
To celebrate a new schools
Of voices rising up
In a dark time
So that in due time
We will have hope again
Such a coincidence
But on March 24th people rise
Up
To believe again
That we can all accomplish something
With the help is our fellow
Countrymen
A Hope for Past Future
Can the future be brighter
If the past is not reckoned
How to know where to go
If we do not understand
What we have done
My role in this nowness
Is key to the future
I have played my own role
Ambivalently
But with more passion we approach
The future
Same Old Faces
Same old faces
Spewing same old games
Even when humanity needs
Real help
The Plastic Celebrities come out to play
Hope brings some
Sort of desire
To see the standard course
Of progress
Now there are new faces rising up
Thank goodness for fresh starts
Hope begins there
And flourishes from everyday people
Just like us
I have hope
For those who act
Not those who are actors
